A single route has multiple patterns often characterized by different terminals or branches. One shape and one corresponding record exists for each individual road segment that compose the pattern. This base layer has all the attributes that could potentially be aggregated and is the base of other Transit Pattern layers.  The line work for the dataset was derived from NCompasses Street Centerline and Address Range dataset. A small number of line segments have been added to those available from the NCompass dataset to completely depict all patterns traveled by fixed-route transit vehicles. </dc:description><dc:description>To identify all locations in the Twin Cities metropolitan area where fixed-route transit route patterns exist.</dc:description><dc:description>Pattern geography is updated weekly and includes linework from the NCompass street centerline dataset released in late summer or early spring.</dc:description><dc:format>Files</dc:format><dc:identifier>us-mn-state-metc-trans-transit-pattern-stret-segs</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Transit Patterns Street Segments [Minnesota]</dc:title><dc:type>Datasets</dc:type><dc:coverage>Minnesota--Anoka County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Minnesota--Carver County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Minnesota--Dakota County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Minnesota--Hennepin County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Minnesota--Ramsey County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Minnesota--Scott County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Minnesota--Washington County</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Minnesota--Twin Cities Metropolitan Area</dc:coverage><dc:coverage>Minnesota</dc:coverage><dc:contributor>Minnesota Geospatial Commons</dc:contributor></oai_dc:dc>
